Little 2-5/8″ EDC in S35VN and a scrap of ironwood left over from another project. This knife started longer, but it got a little unplanned rhinoplasty. Great little belt-finished EDC now:
Knives
Brace of AuK4s in CPM-154
Last knives of 2020!
This matched pair of AuK4s in ~0.140″ CPM-154 is sporting Kabar micarta BK62 scales and Kabar/Becker Short sheaths. Both have tapered tangs, hidden lanyard hole, control ricasso, and a kiln finish.
Hand-forged Truck Spring AuK5
Available: $220
Finished this one in the spring, but never got around to posting:
AuK5 5.063″ hand-forged from truck coil spring in quench-finish, 0.164″ thick at spine, tapered tang, wearing natural Ka-Bar micarta scales, no sheath,60-61Rc. I *love* this steel.
Fits Ka-Bar nylon “Tweener” (Becker Shorts) sheath perfectly, available separately from Ka-Bar.
Forged Rudder Bearing Belt Knife in Gcarta
Another one for my shipmates, nearly complete except for sheath and edge. This 5.125″ blade was hand-forged from half of a E/V Nautilus #rudderbearing, brass bolster from the bearing cage, wearing Ocean Depths Gcarta from @g.l._hansenandsons.
Moose Mountain-5 in 1084 and White Oak
Moose Mountain-5 in 0.200" 1084, white oak and black G10. Edge at 61Rc, differentially tempered spine. Symmetrical 4.937" of blade and handle. Gently tapered tang, with balance at the first finger. This is a mighty knife.
